What can I say... This is going pretty well. Tera Raids are basically a reskin of Max Raids, but 10x less tedious. I've caught a decent number of mons already. The characters continue to be interesting, and the map is undoubtedly better than Sword/Shield. Slowly making my way through Paldea. Such a shame that there's clipping and bad camera behavior everywhere. I haven't encountered model animation bugs (yet?) though.

First impressions after playing several hours and stopping in Cortondo (before entering the gym): I really like the worldbuilding/map, the characters and the overall feeling of the story. The technical issues, while nowhere as nightmarish as what people have been saying, are nevertheless quite heartbreaking. My system is an old-ass launch Switch with probably bad thermal paste, in docked mode. I'm not getting slow and glitched loading of models, just occasional frame drops.
